Since few day I am trying to force vim-coc (with coc-clangd) to work properly with project. My test project is clonned bluez project.
When I openbluez/src/main.c with vim (neovim in my case) most of autocompletion and goto definition works but unfortunately some of included headers like #include "lib/bluetooth.h" cannot be referenced because its location is in bluez/lib/....
How can I force vim-coc to treat main bluez directory as master dir for indexer?
Can you build the project? If you can, run command:bear make(bear need to be installed).
After you run the command, you will see a file named "compile_commands.json".
Then completion might be able to work.

I'm trying to use add_custom_command to generate a file during the build. The command never seemed to be run, so I made this test file.
cmake_minimum_required( VERSION 2.6 )
add_custom_command(
OUTPUT hello.txt
COMMAND touch hello.txt
DEPENDS hello.txt
)
I tried running:
cmake .
make
And hello.txt was not generated. What have I done wrong?
The add_custom_target(run ALL ... solution will work for simple cases when you only have one target you're building, but breaks down when you have multiple top level targets, e.g. app and tests.
I ran into this same problem when I was trying to package up some test data files into an object file so my unit tests wouldn't depend on anything external. I solved it using add_custom_command and some additional dependency magic with set_property.
add_custom_command(
OUTPUT testData.cpp
COMMAND reswrap
ARGS testData.src > testData.cpp
DEPENDS testData.src
)
set_property(SOURCE unit-tests.cpp APPEND PROPERTY OBJECT_DEPENDS testData.cpp)
add_executable(app main.cpp)
add_executable(tests unit-tests.cpp)
So now testData.cpp will generated before unit-tests.cpp is compiled, and any time testData.src changes. If the command you're calling is really slow you get the added bonus that when you build just the app target you won't have to wait around for that command (which only the tests executable needs) to finish.
It's not shown above, but careful application of ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}, ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} and include_directories() will keep your source tree clean of generated files.
Add the following:
add_custom_target(run ALL
DEPENDS hello.txt)
If you're familiar with makefiles, this means:
all: run
run: hello.txt
The problem with two existing answers is that they either make the dependency global (add_custom_target(name ALL ...)), or they assign it to a specific, single file (set_property(...)) which gets obnoxious if you have many files that need it as a dependency. Instead what we want is a target that we can make a dependency of another target.
The way to do this is to use add_custom_command to define the rule, and then add_custom_target to define a new target based on that rule. Then you can add that target as a dependency of another target via add_dependencies.
# this defines the build rule for some_file
add_custom_command(
OUTPUT some_file
COMMAND ...
)
# create a target that includes some_file, this gives us a name that we can use later
add_custom_target(
some_target
DEPENDS some_file
)
# then let's suppose we're creating a library
add_library(some_library some_other_file.c)
# we can add the target as a dependency, and it will affect only this library
add_dependencies(some_library some_target)
The advantages of this approach:
some_target is not a dependency for ALL, which means you only build it when it's required by a specific target. (Whereas add_custom_target(name ALL ...) would build it unconditionally for all targets.)
Because some_target is a dependency for the library as a whole, it will get built before all of the files in that library. That means that if there are many files in the library, we don't have to do set_property on every single one of them.
If we add DEPENDS to add_custom_command then it will only get rebuilt when its inputs change. (Compare this to the approach that uses add_custom_target(name ALL ...) where the command gets run on every build regardless of whether it needs to or not.)

This question is pretty old, but even if I follow the suggested recommendations, it does not work for me (at least not every time).
I am using Android Studio and I need to call cMake to build C++ library. It works fine until I add the code to run my custom script (in fact, at the moment I try to run 'touch', as in the example above).
First of,
add_custom_command
does not work at all.
I tried
execute_process (
COMMAND touch hello.txt
)
it works, but not every time!
I tried to clean the project, remove the created file(s) manually, same thing.
Tried cMake versions:
3.10.2
3.18.1
3.22.1
when they work, they produce different results, depending on cMake version, one file or several. This is not that important as long as they work, but that's the issue.
Can somebody shed light on this mystery?
I need to build libpng, but without #define PNG_READ_eXIf_SUPPORTED in pnglibconf.h
I've read comments from pnglibconf.dfa, and here are some ways of disabling features, however I didn't manage to make what I want using them.
The problem is in that, build process is performed on build server, so I can't change any files inside of libpng submodule. Here is how server works:
Download clone sources from git
Generate makefile by running cmake ..
Run make command.
Thus I have libnpg, but with included PNG_READ_eXIf_SUPPORTED option.
Libpng is a submodule of my project, so it checked out by build server automatically so I can't change pnglibconf manually.
As it said in pnglibconf.dfa file:
There are three ways of disabling features, in no particular order:
1) Create 'pngusr.h', enter the required private build information
detailed below and #define PNG_NO_<option> for each option you
don't want in that file in that file. You can also turn on options
using PNG_<option>_SUPPORTED. When you have finished rerun
configure and rebuild pnglibconf.h file with -DPNG_USER_CONFIG:
make clean
CPPFLAGS='-DPNG_USER_CONFIG' ./configure
make pnglibconf.h
pngusr.h is only used during the creation of pnglibconf.h, but it
is safer to ensure that -DPNG_USER_CONFIG is specified throughout
the build by changing the CPPFLAGS passed to the initial ./configure
I tried to do what is written here. I run cmake .. -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-DPNG_USER_CONFIG -I/home/me/dev/include" where /home/me/dev/include - is a path to pngusr.h file
Then I run make command. However, PNG_READ_eXIf_SUPPORTED is still present in generated (by make command pnglibconf.h file).
So my main question is how to make libpng without PNG_READ_eXIf_SUPPORTED option?
It remains unclear to me whether and to what extent the specific customization mechanism you are trying to use works in the version of libpng you are trying to use. But it looks like there's a simpler way. Just below the excerpt you posted, in the same file, is the second (of three) alternatives:
2) Add definitions of the settings you want to change to CPPFLAGS;
for example:
-DPNG_DEFAULT_READ_MACROS=0
(lightly formatted). I'm not in a good position to test that on the CMake-based build system, but it seems to work like a charm in the Autotools build system. From examining and comparing the two, I think it will work for CMake, too. In particular, you would want to run
cmake .. -DCMAKE_CPP_FLAGS="-DPNG_NO_READ_eXIf"
for your particular case.
Note, by the way, that the CPP (i.e. preprocessor) flags are the right place for an option such as you are specifying (for -DPNG_USR_CONFIG in your original attempt, too). In practice, though, they probably still work in the C compiler flags.
I need to compile PortAudio's paex_record_file.c file using Eclipse and CDT on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS.
Dev libraries (libportaudio-dev) was installed via Synaptic.
I create new Eclipse project and create (copy) this only file to it (so project contains only one user source file 'paex_record_file.c', 1752 2011-09-08 03:21:55).
Then i use Eclipse's Pkg-config to add 'portaudio' (dev) library.
But it not compiles with error
../src/paex_record_file-test.c:47:27: fatal error: pa_ringbuffer.h: No such file or directory
Then source branch taken from git
$ git clone https://git.assembla.com/portaudio.git
./configure
make
sudo male install
But still get same error (no 'pa_ringbuffer.h').
Then during blind trials and errors i use Project - Properties - C build - Settings - Tool settings - Includes, and add '/home/test/portaudio/src/common' path which contains needed .h file, and (this) error disappear.
Question 1: Is this step is correct use of Eclipse settings in this case? (i believe not, because i never need to use this setting before).
But then it shows multiple errors like
/home/doc/prog/paex_record_file-test/Debug/../src/paex_record_file-test.c:110: undefined reference to `PaUtil_GetRingBufferReadAvailable'
and this is unrecoverable.
Question 2. How it can be fixed using Eclipse, BUT without copying all Portaudio source tree to my project?
I have pa_ringbuffer.o file somewhere in system, but no any something like pa_ringbuffer.so files.
I have compiled and running under Eclipse other PA apps which are do not use PA's ring buffer, and just
#include "portaudio.h"
and adding PA lib via PkgConfig is enough.
Thanks.
I had to add those 3 files to source code as well as main.c , then it compiled.
I use Code Block, Mingw c compiler
/portaudio/src/common/pa_allocation.c
/portaudio/src/common/pa_ringbuffer.c
/portaudio/src/os/win/pa_win_util.c
code block IDE view of 3 files added
Please have a look into the portaudio.git :
cd portaudio/
find . -name pa_ringbuffer.h
The reply is : ./src/common/pa_ringbuffer.h
... so you will have to copy the header to a location, where it can be found. But : Do not expect to compile a single file → often not possible with a complex application. I.e. the setup is meant for compiling the complete portaudio/.
In short: This question is basically about telling Linux to load the development version of the .so file for executables in the dev directory and the installed .so file for others.
In long: Imagine a shared library, let's call it libasdf.so. And imagine the following directories:
/home/user/asdf/lib: libasdf.so
/home/user/asdf/test: ... perform_test
/opt/asdf/lib: libasdf.so
/home/user/jkl: ... use_asdf
In other words, you have a development directory for your library (/home/user/asdf) and you have an installed copy of its previous stable version (/opt/asdf) and some other programs using it (/home/user/jkl).
My question is, how can I tell Linux, to load /home/user/asdf/lib/libasdf.so when executing /home/user/asdf/test/perform_test and to load /opt/asdf/lib/libasdf.so when executing /home/user/jkl/use_asdf? Note that, even though I specify the directory by -L during link, Linux uses other methods (for example /ect/ld.so.conf and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH) to find the .so file.
The reason I need such a thing is that, of course the executables in the development directory need to link with the latest version of the library, while the other programs, would want to use the stable version.
Putting ../lib in the library path doesn't seem like a secure idea, not to mention not completely correct since you can't run the test from a different directory.
One solution I thought about is to have perform_test link with libasdf-dev.so and upon install, copy libasdf-dev.so as libasdf.so and have others link with that. This solution has one problem though. Imagine the following additional directory:
/home/user/asdf/tool: ... use_asdf_too
Which gets installed to:
/opt/asdf/bin: use_asdf_too
In my solution, it is unknown what use_asdf_too should be linked against. If linked against libasdf.so, it wouldn't work properly if invoked from the dev directory and if linked against libasdf-dev.so, it wouldn't work properly if invoked from the installed location.
What can I do? How is this managed by other people?
Installed shared objects usually don't just end with ".so". Usually they also include their soname, such as libadsf.so.42.1. The .so file for development is typically a symlink to a fully-versioned filename. The linker will look for the .so file and resolve it to the full filename, and the loader will then load the fully-versioned library instead.
So I have scons working with an alternate build location (build/ for my output files, src/ for my input files) and it works great. Except for one thing.
I'm using an IDE (TI Code Composer 4) to debug my program. I point the IDE at the output executable to run it, and what it uses for the source files for debugging is the build/ directory. I don't really care, except when I go to edit the file in the IDE, for example main.cpp, the file is really build/main.cpp which gets clobbered as soon as I run scons again. I have to remember to edit src/main.cpp instead. I am aware of this issue and yet I make the same mistake often.
Is there a way to have scons make the source files it copies into the build path read-only? (I'd ask how to get TI CCS4 to use the right source files when it is debugging an executable, but I doubt I'd get any answers.)
This page has information about wrapping InstallTargets with a chmod call.
FYI, the scons user list is quite active with many knowledgeable people and you can get answers pretty quickly.
You could always tell scons not to duplicate source files in the build directory:
SConscript('src/SConscript', variant_dir='build', duplicate=0)
